So, my yorkie has been losing hair since he was 4 months old. At first, it was a lot for a breed that isn't supposed to shed. I've taken him to the vet a couple different times and nothing out of the ordinary is found. He had a skin scraping which was negative. His skin is not red or irritated and he is not itchy. He is now 10 months old and although he isn't losing as much hair, I brush him everyday and get hair out. He has so much hair on his body, you can't even tell that he has lost so much. SO...I can't help but wonder if he is just losing his puppy coat? Has anyone had this happen? And, how long does it last?
